Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-6-nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole CAS 14625-39-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole.

CATO supplies 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (CAS 14625-39-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H6ClN3O2, MW 211.61 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 211.61 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-nitro-1H-benzo[d]imidazole under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
